As part of my personal review of my directories' marketing strategies, i've decided to document the methods I've used in my blog as a reference. Many of you old-birds may already know these stuff, but for those relatively new, it maybe useful for you too. http://blog.linksfactory.net/9-must-do-marketing-tips-for-directories.html Do let me know what you think by leaving comments in my blog as we are all still learning, especially if there are strategies that I've left out! Cheers
Yup Nice read. The only thing I didn't do so far would be #8. i really need to start making some posts in my blog.
Good information. My directory has been around for a bit, but I could still use some of that stuff that never crossed my mind. Rep added!
no man is an island! read this point first on V7n!! anyways, a nice article, though without the fund it it not possible for starters to get going with a bang!
Free templates are one of the most important ones.... And ofcourse the frequent promotions... Good post. Thanks. Can't give you rep right now, but we'll do as soon as I spread it enough.
Good article. I wish that the 'start off with a bang' point went into further details though. I think it's kind of obvious that you want as much hype as possible for your directory launch, but how to do that is the question. I'm going to launch my first directory soon so it was good to read.
Getting hype over a directory is a lot easier if you have had succesful dirs. in the past. For example, someone like rob(an0n) or chris (mystikmedia) have very suceesful high PR directories, if they released a new one, there would be a lot of hype and people would visit, as they know they would gain a high PR and traffic. Just try post around here as much as possible, get noticed, go submit to directories everywhere and people will notice it.
Glad to see you put on the default theme for LF again it rocks:!!! and yeah a great read, how about Digging it?
